best live show in Calgary.Calgary, ABthebitterweeddraw.ca/

want to get rid of all the astrictions, flying freely like birds, accepting multifarious music or sound. This new

â€œBirdstrikingâ€ is obviously seen.Beijing, Chinabirdstriking.com

Dragon Cheddar

Long before the dinosaurs roamed the earth, our planet was home to the Dragon Cheddar, a ferocious band of
Parcheesi fanatics bent on world domination. Sadly, they went extinct when the vast Havarti plains perished
during the great deadening.
But now, thanks to science, and geology and stuff, they're back! And they learned how to play music
real good during their time being extinct. You wouldn't understand. They'll melt your face and that's
all you need know.

By representing these ideas through three-dimensional works I begin to try to communicate the inner workings of my mind to those who are equally as curious"
